    A whole mess of fun
    This movie starts messy and confusing, ends messy and confusing, and the middle is much the same. It's one of the best things I've ever seen. There is virtually no plot and it feels like there's a few explanatory scenes missing (though my version didn't have the best captioning, so keep that in mind). However, the whole thing was just so much fun to watch that I didn't care about whatever I missed. The ending is heartwarming (if a bit bewildering) and the level of character growth and development is honestly unparalleled. If nothing else, watch it for Marinelli in green sparkly eyeshadow.
